PARTY INSPIRATION

In a way, adapting one of my designs for a Bar Mitzvah was the hardest part of this album. Mainly because I have never been a 13 year old boy and pretty much have no clue what they are into. So I kept it simple, classic, geometric and blue. Blue was key. You know, because boys love blue right?

The simplicity and masculinity of this design allows it to fit no matter what your bar mitzvah theme happens to be. And just because he wants a basketball theme does not mean that you can’t send out beautiful, thoughtful invitations and then let the kids play basketball at the party. I’m just sayin’.

If you haven’t had the chance to get your mom or a mom in your life a gift for mother’s day then you are in luck. Wait what? You’re in luck because I am about to tell you about this sweet company Little Biscuits that creates adorable portraits. And then they throw in printable files for 8 awesome items with that portrait.See, this is a portrait of Maycn and she is so cute. And once the portrait is created you will get the following printable files to take anywhere and get printed: wall art | labels | invitations | tags | cupcake toppers | dress me notepads | bookplates | notecards |
So here’s the deal, do get your mom or a mom in your life a gift card for a portrait and she will be forever grateful.

LAST MINUTE MOTHER’S DAY GIFT BY LITTLE BISCUITS was last modified: May 8th, 2014 by avis

I just love the way this suite is re-imagined for a birth announcement. It really says “ta-da!” Which is really the essence of a birth announcement. It’s to show how you are bursting with pride.

The great thing about this suite is that even though it is shown for a girl, it would totally work for a boy. We have used the pink and brown since they are just so sweet for baby girls but also thrown in the shimmer white paper to bump it up a notch. This baby is classy ya’ll.

We’ve imagined this suite to include everything you might need during this exciting time: birth announcement, shower invites, welcome brunch invites and thank you notes.

I designed this suite for the dramatic 13 year old. ( is there any other kind?) Instead of a pale, demure pink, I went with fuchsia, slate and shimmer white. I think this makes it powerful while still being fun and youthful. I really wanted the invitation to reflect this most exciting and interesting time of a young girl becoming a young woman. This is a party I want to be invited to!

This suite includes 2 laser cut designs, the tie on and the invitation. You may be asking yourself “what in the world is a tie on?” And you would be right to do that since it’s a term I made up for this item. I wanted to create a mutli-use item that would allow you, the customer, the freedom to use these in whatever creative way you come up with. A few hints: Tie them onto favors, use them & ribbon to wrap around napkins, tie them around water bottles. Those are just a few of my ideas but I’m sure you will come up with the perfect application for your party. View the entire suite here.

I recently had the pleasure of creating this amazing laser cut invitation for a 50th birthday weekend in New York City. The design was created by myself and the client. We cut the invitation out of peacock paper, used white envelopes lined with glossy white paper and had the addresses done in amazing calligraphy provided by Ginna Dunlap Emmet. When we saw the finished product come together, there were some squeals of excitement.

I created these with the help of my friends at Simply Put Paper & Gift. They have to be favorite retailer to do custom work with. The girls there are so friendly and helpful to not only me but the customer too. They will bend over backwards to make sure their clients get exactly what they want. Here are a few shots of their adorable store located right here in Atlanta. You can find them at 1170 Howell Mill Road, Suite 104, Atlanta, Ga 30318.

I just wanted to show you guys an invitation that I am doing for a customer right now. She wanted a Baptism invite but didn’t want to pay for a custom design so she had the brilliant idea to use my A Wedding invites and just change the wording. Her son is getting baptized so the blue is perfect and the birds fit right in too. I am continually amazed at the creativity of my customers.
